Mental Health

Menopause and perimenopause can have a significant impact on mental health due to hormonal fluctuations, particularly the decline in oestrogen and progesterone. These hormones play a role in regulating mood, anxiety, and cognitive function. As oestrogen levels decrease, many women experience changes in emotional well-being, memory, and overall mental health. The physical symptoms of menopause, such as sleep disturbances and hot flashes, can also contribute to mental health challenges by increasing stress and disrupting daily life.
